Episode 44: Theory's Labyrinth of Ignorance

It was Crimson Jackal who emerged from behind the cave.

He looks like a wolf, but is weaker instead of being able to move smaller and more agile than a wolf.

Even regular jackals are flirted with by agile movements, making ordinary adventurers struggle. On top of that, Crimson Jackals with bright red hair have flame-smitting skills and flame-generating skills around them.

Close proximity is also a dangerous demon, so struggle is a must, but if you can bring back the hair, you can sell it at a high price because it is a hair that is resistant to flames.

Seven such strong demons form a herd. He seems to be the boss because the Crimson Jackal in the lead is one turn bigger than the others.

"Ira."

"Pleasant."

Straight line of caves.

Ira, who took the bow out of the storage ring, shoots at the arrow. The aim is the leading Crimson Jackal. Accurately released arrows head straight between the brows of the Crimson Jackal.

"Whew...!

But the arrow burns out where it reaches the front of Crimson Jackal's eyes.

Not only can the boss Crimson Jackal create flames, he even possesses the skills to burn things around him, and he can't even hit them with a normal arrow.

"If so...!

Ira with an untouched bow.

A glowing arrow is created in the bow and fired. Arrows shaped by magic cannot be burned even with Crimson Jackal skills. The boss, who understands it, jumps diagonally forward and dodges the arrow. I'm hitting a buddy who was behind me for dodging, but he doesn't look like he cared about his boss.

On the contrary, Niya, and a grinning boss. It seems to him that it doesn't matter what happens to his people, as long as he's one of them...

"Mukatsuku......!

Ira shoots arrows of magic one after the other.

Crimson jackals also run endlessly through the cave, using walls and ceilings to approach them.

The distance between us is ten meters.

The distance you can reach in an instant given the speed of the Crimson Jackal.

"And nice to meet you"

Ira bows down as she mumbled and was shooting an arrow.

The Crimson Jackals, who were hostile to Ira, who kept shooting arrows at themselves, also wonder.

but I approached it too inadvertently.

"Lightning strike"

Thunder emanating from Noel's sceptre falls on the wall.

Then electrically shock the Crimson Jackal, who was propagating the wall and spreading forward.

Crimson jackal falling to the ground with butterflies. It also seems difficult to produce flames in a state of paralysis, not a substitute that can be used to attack just because a boggle of fire occurs around you.

Noel's electric shock was definitely paralyzing all Crimson Jackals.

"It was so strong, you'd get good material"

It's like, "Oh no...!" but crimson jackal with that look I said.

But the world is heartless. We all split up and stab Todome in the immobile Crimson Jackal.

"Hey, you were strong nonetheless"

"On the first basement floor, though."

"I expected it, but the worst pattern I've ignored Theory"

Illis knew what was going on in the labyrinth.

Usually coming out on the first basement floor are goblins, slimes, and the weakest class demons that don't have any special abilities either. At least it's not hierarchical enough for demons to come out that can handle flames.

The emergence of Crimson Jackals ignoring Theory.

But naturally, it did.

"The Ill Kite Labyrinth now has demons that were in the labyrinth popping outside. We're still out of here because the supply - the production of demons - is going on at the same time."

Demons flying outside at the same time as they are created.

... So what demons are still in the labyrinth?

"A demon I know is more efficient in the labyrinth. And the demons that are about to jump outside."

Perhaps it should have been in a lower hierarchy that Crimson Jackal was also created. I reached the first basement floor to get out of there.

Theory and other ineffective labyrinths.

That was the Ill Kite Labyrinth now.

"You should just pass a place like this."

I agree with the Iris proposal.

It is too narrow in the cave to be avoided when it comes to combat.

"Oh, it looks like there's a part of Theory Street."

A little further down the cave, you can see the goblin.

"... weird"

"Really?

Illis surprises the emergence of goblins.

It's not uncommon to have goblins in caves.

"Where was this goblin?

Iris speaks of doubt as he slashes and throws away the goblins that have been attacking him with one swing of his sword.

"Where..."

"This goblin showed up where Crimson Jackal was running. It's possible he was ignored because he was weak, but I don't know why he ran into Crimson Jackal and was safe."

It is the main road ahead.

It's also hard to imagine that a crimson jackal that can also illuminate its surroundings with flames overlooks goblins. And if you found it, it's not weird that you're knocking it down with a feeling like knocking it down. That's the difference in power between the two.

That being the case, it is believed that Goblin was not found in the Crimson Jackal.

"Maybe there's a hidden passage somewhere"

Treasures are often hidden in such hidden places.

"But we can't afford to be looking for a room like that right now."

I made the offense a priority. Now I had to miss it, even if it was likely.

"Too bad"

I guess Iris wasn't really looking for a hidden room just because he spoke of the possibilities either.

- Gacon!

"... hmm?

Something drops sounds.

Turning to the noisy one, until just before, there was a hole in the place where the wall should have been.

"[Labyrinth Operation: Map]"

I never thought I'd be allowed to dive into the labyrinth and use it on the first tier.

[Labyrinth operation: map]. Skills that allow you to visualize detailed maps of the labyrinth if used in the labyrinth. It is magical enough to know the structure and trap of the labyrinth and the location of the demons without prior information. However, we have to figure out how to attack ourselves.

Besides, we had to consume the magic of the labyrinth, so we wanted to proceed on our own to the extent that it was possible to explore on our own rather than relying entirely on it.

But I can't say that either.

If an unanticipated threat may emerge from a hidden location, use the skill without worrying about some consumption.

"That's...!

A large goblin of stature appears from across the hole.

Hobgoblins. Goblins whose bodies and powers have grown as a result of the miraculous victory of weak goblins. Classified as the same goblin, but not the kind of demon a rookie adventurer can get his hands on.

The stick is held in his hand, and he turns to the caged eyes of hostility.

But a head with a caged eye of hostility sooner than Hobgoblin moves out falls to the ground when Ira slashes him in the neck.

At the same time the walls everywhere open and the goblins pop up in unison.

I can't insult you because you're a goblin. More than a hundred goblin raids as if filling a cave. You can do it magically if you just take it down, but being filled with corpses prevents you from moving on.

"Let's go all at once!

I try to move on before it's filled.

"... ugh!

But a strong animosity is directed at me from within a group of goblins and my legs stop.

passage to be filled while doing so. The hidden room where the hobgoblin came out cannot be used because it is dead. The goblins I encountered with Crimson Jackal were also able to do it because they had a hidden room.

"Goblin Emperor"

One demon that came out of a bunch of goblins.

It's the first demon I've ever seen, but a demon in the same shape as a human with green skin. The colour of the skin, and the demons not different from humans except for the head of the little ghost, was wrapped in gold armor, received a gold crown over his head and held a golden sword in his hand.
